Nottingham Forest made Kieran Dowell their sixth signing of the summer when the teenage midfielder joined on a season-long loan from Everton today. The Post takes a look at the Reds’ newest arrival.

What’s his career been like so far?

If the response of Everton fans on Twitter to his move to the City Ground is anything to go by, it’s been pretty good. Many of them seemed to hope he might get more of a chance at Goodison Park this year, having apparently been a standout performer in pre-season.

Dowell has been with the club since the age of seven and signed his first professional contract in March 2015 – being rewarded for his progress with a new three-year deal 15 months later.

He has been a regular for his country across the age groups, picking up caps at Under-16 to Under-20 level.

And he was part of the Under-20 side which lifted the World Cup this summer. Dowell sealed the Young Lions’ place in the second round of the competition when he scored the only goal of the group game against hosts South Korea.

He also started the final as Venezuela were beaten 1-0 for England’s first global tournament win since 1966.
